Officials in Moscow may be over-reacting just a bit to the threat of terrorism in their city. They believe bathrooms will be the next big target and are seriously considering the installation of bomb-proof latrines throughout the city.

These terrorist-proof toilets will be made from a fibrous concrete that can withstand a bomb blast. Each lavatory will be solar-powered and heated for comfort. If this plan is approved, these latrines could be installed by the end of the year.
